Nice, thanks for the explanation. I'm wondering whether s-c-kdump needs
to know if the current kexec-tools support this feature. If we simply
allow the path to be supplied regardless of kexec-tools version, the
worst that can happen is that kdump.conf is generated which causes (an
old version of) kdump to save the dump on root fs in the specified
directory. Is that acceptable?
This sounds reasonable.
Thanks
